UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told Germany on Tuesday to follow Poland's example and not rely on Russia for its energy supplies which could make it vulnerable to "extortion and intimidation".

Russia's Gazprom and its European partners are developing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, designed to double natural gas volumes pumped from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea, avoiding traditional transit route Ukraine.
